In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that Christian Hansen had commented about my latest Doom II level, Congestion Control, on Doom Center.  Now I have been reading Chris's reviews and playing his levels for a long time, but I somehow never got around to actually sending him an email!  Well, the positive comments I got from him gave me an excuse for it and I finally did get in touch with him.  Going by his reply, it seems that he was in a similar situation as well!

Anyway the final result of all this was that I played his Flay the Obscene levels again, on 24th.  And yesterday I got a number of demos for it from Opulent's too.  I watched them in between studying for my Java Practicals Exam, and also used screenshots from Flay the Obscene Part II in one particular applet I was writing (heh).  The applet was basically an image swapping applet - you would insert two instances of the applet in an HTML page, and they would be displaying two images on themselves.  They would each have a button, and when you clicked one of them, the images shown on the applets would exchange.

If you haven't played his Flay the Obscene levels (for Doom II) already, you don't know what you're missing out on!  The architecture and gameplay of these levels are terrific, and I really love their style.  They have basically an earthy-type look, with brick, wood and marble constructs, but also there are demonic, hellish and tech elements.  And he has used the Episode 1 sky in these levels, and with just the right lighting, every scene in these levels looks great.  And there are also lots of visual effects and gameplay tricks in them.  There are different versions of these levels floating around, but the Flay the Obscene Compilation, which has updated versions of all these levels in one WAD, is the only one you will need to download.  Of course, you know where to find it - at Chris's site The DooMer's RecesS.
